The mission of the Society for Technical Communication is to advance the theory and practice of technical communication across all user abilities and media.
The mission of the San Francisco chapter is to:
- Promote the arts and sciences of technical communication in the San Francisco Bay Area
- Promote career development in the technical communication profession for our members, other colleagues, and students of technical communication
- Promote respect, increased public awareness, and appreciation of the technical communication profession

This is an area where members can discuss challenges presented by the various SME personalities. Other members of the groiup are welcome to offer advice on the best way to approach the SME of interest.
This is not a place to bash SMEs.

The Washington, DC Chapter was chartered in December 1955 to provide education, networking, and job placement assistance services to technical communication professionals and employers. This group merged with the Metropolitan Baltimore Chapter in April 2011 to become the Washington DC - Baltimore Chapter. We serve a wide geographic area which includes Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and some parts of West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The chapter provides education, networking, and job placement assistance services to technical communication professionals and employers in the area.
